While wood carving has declined in popularity throughout the world over the years
, the continued survival of the art and craft of woodcarving proves that it is a timeless art form. The large number of woodcarvers, many of whom come from generations of woodcarvers, carry on the proud tradition in India and different parts of the world. For example, one of the most renowned Indian craftman, Avtarjeet Dhanjal, himself a descendent in a line of woodworkers, is a diverse artist that also creates a line of limited edition chess sets. His limited edition chess sets represent the long tradition of craftsmanship and quality that has come from the many talented woodworkers from India.
